Ulteo Expands Open Virtual Desktop; Brings Linux and Windows Apps to the Same Desktop

In November, I wrote about Ulteo's Open Virtual Desktop, an open source desktop delivery utility. Simply described, the Ulteo Open Virtual Desktop (OVD) is a browser-based operating system and applications suite that is controlled and configured, ideally, by your organization's systems administrators. This makes managing, working, and collaborating from remote locations possible so long as there is a computer nearby with a Java-enabled browser and internet connection.

This week, Ulteo announced some major updates to its OVD, including the ability to deliver Linux and Windows applications (or a mix of both), Active Directory and LDAP authentication capabilities, several file server options, and collaboration support.

Competing With Microsoft Office, With a Dash of Help from Redmond

Here on OStatic, we've made the point many times that open source software often outdoes proprietary competitors. That said, if I see a good piece of freeware, or a fee-based commercial product, I'll still get it if it's best-of-breed. In this post, I'll flesh out a complete suite of software applications that can compete with and work seamlessly with the Microsoft Office suite, where a combination of open source titles, and one single $39.95 application will keep you totally competitive with--and compatible with--the Office suite.

If you want a fast way to get a long list of excellent open source applications, check into PortableApps.com.

Since then PortableApps has been steadily adding excellent open source applications to its free downloadable offering, including a good open source task manager, and a useful open source FTP client for those times when you need to move large files around. This is the fastest way I know of to stock up on great OSS apps.
